n Plus One is the formula for the number of bikes that are in my garage.

All Work and No Play

It's been 72 hours (and counting) since my butt has been on a saddle and it's making me feel like "Jack".

Granted it's been blowing gale force winds and rained (another similarity to the movie except the rain is snow). My new neighbor has a limp similar to "Scatman Crothers". I couldn't even get myself to take a few circles around the block - just like the little kid did on his Big Wheel doing laps in the Overlook Hotel. With the holidays coming up, my riding opportunities will greatly decrease. I guess I'll treat this as some forced off-bike time. Then it will be time to make my reappearence.

Prologue

I'm a middle-aged guy who shaves his head to hide his bald spot. My "passion" (or as my wife calls it - "obsession") is cycling. Unfortunately, this passion only hit me in my mid-30's and it seems like I'm making up for lost time - hence the N Plus One bike formula. But as LA wrote, "It's Not About The Bike". I hope you enjoy my musings.
